Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a 12-hour shift on mood states and sleepiness at the beginning and end of the shift. METHOD Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study.It was conducted with 70 neonatal intensive care unit nurses. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and a socio-demographic profile questionnaire were administered. RESULTS When the KSS and BRUMS scores were compared at the beginning of the shift associations were found with previous sleep quality (p ≤ 0.01), and quality of life (p ≤ 0.05). Statistical significant effects on BRUMS scores were also associated with previous sleep quality, quality of life, liquid ingestion, healthy diet, marital status, and shift work stress. When the beginning and end of the shift were compared, different KSS scores were seen in the group of all nurses and in the night shift one. Significant vigor and fatigue scores were observed within shift groups. CONCLUSION A good night’s sleep has positive effects on the individual`s mood states both at the beginning and the end of the shift. The self-perception of a good quality of life also positively influenced KSS and BRUMS scores at the beginning and end of the shift. Proper liquid ingestion led to better KSS and BRUMS scores.

 Nurses need compassion when providing health services. Compassion felt by nurses can be Compassion Satisfaction (positive aspects) and Compassion Fatigue (negative aspects), and may affect nursing care and Nurses’ Professional Quality of Life. The tendency to negative aspects will be felt by the nurses themselves, patients and hospitals. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life of professionals (Professional Quality of Life) nurses in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Room (ER) of the Kota Bandung Hospital. This research was a quantitative descriptive study. Involving 62 nurses from ICU and ER through total sampling technique with a response rate of 97%. Data was collected using Professional Quality of Life (ProQol) version 5 then analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that 20.97% had a positive Professional Quality of Life according to the Stamm combination interpretation while outside of Stamm's interpretation, 32.26% tended to be positive. According to the results of the average score of each sub-variable, Compassion Satisfaction was in the medium category. The highest average score of compassion satisfaction was ICU nurses, the highest secondary traumatic stress was PICU/NICU nurses and the highest average score of burnout was emergency nurses. Hospitals need to conduct regular reviews of nurse Professional Quality of Life and conduct counseling programs for nurses who have ProQol towards negative and risky aspects.

Il presente studio č parte di un progetto di ricerca longitudinale multicentrico, denominato NEO-ACQUA (NEONATAL ADEQUATE CARE for QUALITY of LIFE), il cui principale obiettivo č la valutazione della qualitŕ della vita di bambini nati pretermine, ma considerati "sani" alla dimissione per l'assenza di patologie conclamate. In quest'articolo sono riportati i risultati relativi alla valutazione neurocomportamentale. Lo scopo primario č indagare possibili differenze nel profilo neurologico e comportamentale rispetto a bambini nati a termine. Hanno preso parte allo studio 69 bambini nati molto pretermine (etŕ gestazionale < 30a settimana e/o peso alla nascita < 1500 gr) e 33 bambini nati a termine. I pretermine sono stati valutati al raggiungimento dell'etŕ postmestruale a termine (_ 37 settimane), i nati a termine tra la seconda e la terza giornata di vita. La valutazione neurocomportamentale č stata eseguita tramite la Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS). In confronto ai nati a termine, i pretermine presentavano un maggior numero di riflessi non ottimali e una scarsa qualitŕ del movimento. Sul piano comportamentale manifestavano una minore capacitŕ di attenzione e di partecipazione allo scambio con l'ambiente. Inoltre risultavano meno abili nella regolazione del distress. Infine, presentavano marcati livelli di stress. I risultati rilevano che, anche in assenza di documentate complicazioni cliniche, bambini fortemente pretermine presentano un'alterazione del profilo neurocomportamentale. Queste evidenze sono discusse alla luce del possibile utilizzo della NNNS in programmi di intervento precoce a favore dei bambini pretermine e di sostegno ai loro genitori.
